The first problem of a Continental staff is to choose a theme for the book. This year ' s staff, after friendly suggestions and almost friendly arguments, decided upon Casual California. To develop the theme throughout the book, we decided to have the division pages carry glimpses of casual life in Cali- fornia. The left hand pages show, photographically, some of the things we do on Monday through Friday; — the right hand pages, by means of cartoons, reveal Tj, what we might be doing, but can only day dream about. We who live in Southern California like to be • outside, we like bright sport clothes and open con- Q JL ASL. f , vertibles. We like to gather in big groups of friends for barbegues or outings at the places shown on the jhdl vs-s CuJ l eit - We go to the mountains, to Catalina Island, c • ihi ) B] i ea Tar Pits ' and P icnic at Fern Del1 in Grirfith Park - Remember the advertising slogan You ' re Lucky the desert.

A 3 Before May first rolled around, Washington students probably regarded the faculty merely as teachers. But after that memorable day of the Faculty Show all pupils recognized the talent in their midst. No doubt a hit of the show was El- wood and Elsie , a jolly act featuring Mrs. Bell and Coach Bob White Also never to be forgotten were the Bowery Babes and the Dumb and Bungle Corpse M. G. M. should have sent out talent scouts to view that display of charm. Also offering bang-up talent was the Christmas party. This was a private get-together for faculty only. White ele- phants were exchanged and our teachers went home, happy to begin a vacation which would be a bracer for another year of toil.

Of course you did, because the Senate and Cabinet under Jimmy Cokas worked hard to give students added privileges. Dance sponsors found the turnout was larger when tickets could be bought at the door. This ruling was one of the most valuable of the winter semester. Everyone was proud of alumnus Tom Edwards, harmonica player, who was featured with Tony Martin ' s Band of Tomor- row in the Cabinet aud. Best name bands of the season played in the boys ' gym during lunch hour. Everyone really enjoyed himself at these noon dances even if the bands were on wax. The faces on this page were school leaders during the winter semester. Thy worked hard and had lots of fun while making Wash- ington a better school.

TON DICK LAMPH Boys ' Vice President Judy Wolfe Barbara Schultz Sally Woodson Dick Rush THE SUMMER CABINET, effectively headed by Paul Possomato, directed our immense stu- dent body through a successful semester. One of the most fruitful activities sponsored by them was the paper and rag drive which net- ted well over two thousand dollars. Prizes were presented to those students who collected the most footage of paper. The next undertak- ing was the Tenth Eleventh Heaven, an in- formal dance for lower classmen only. Through the combined efforts of the Cabinet, Senate, and school officials, an improved cafeteria system was put into operation. The school ' s refreshment stand was no longer a place for social gatherings but merely a munching room. The most important action taken by the Senate was to recommend three amendments to the constitution. They provided that the president of Ladies, the president of Knights, and the new manager of publicity become members of the Cabinet. The entire student body voted on these amendments and all were accepted. This semester, for the first time, the Cabinet mem- bers had identification cards.

The Ladies ' semi-annual alumnae banquet brought together many of the former Ladies who reviewed many fond memories.

Basically an honor or- ganization, the Knights and Ladies do many services. Ushering at Open House and the Scholarsh ip convention were some of their duties. Others were taking charge of registration at Homecoming Day and being time keepers at the Shakespearian Festival. The Manual Arts Knights and Decodians were invited to visit our school, just to show them what they missed by not coming to Washington. Because they are supposed to look real sharp and be the cream of the crop, the Knights and Ladies are asked to represent Washington in lots of activties.

SCHCLARSHIP SOCIETY, climaxing the year ' s activities, played host to the Southern Califor- nia Region Scholarship Federation Convention on Apnl 14. Thirty colleges and universities sent delegates who met with groups of scholars to help advise them. These interviews were followed by tours, entertainment, and a lun- cheon. The usual semi-annual recognition as- semblies, honoring the sealbearers and new torchbearers, were held in the fall and the spring Highlighting the Scholarship tea each semester were the Torchbearer oath and the installation of officers Sue Hamilton and Pauline Federer se r ved as able presidents. Brains, brawn, and beauty made up the Scholarship Society which included one semes- ter membe r s, new Torchbearers, old Torch- bearers and Sealbearers. Tutoring students who had difficulties in one or more subjects was the special job of the Torchbearers. SEALBEARERS, those hard working I. Q. ' s, were honored each semesters at an aud call concluding Scholarship Week. They were in- troduced to the school by the Sealbearer chair- men, George Aamodt in the fall, and Keith Nicol in the spring. Presentation of pins by Dr Fisher was followed by the Sealbearer oath. The thi p ty-six Sealbearers of S ' 51 represented the largest membership in the history of the school. To become a Sealbearer one must have belonged to the Scholarship Society four times, once in the senior year. OLD TORCHBEARERS— ROW I: Schenk, Tiegen, Wolfe. Martin, Garrison, Hans.

Big and Little Sisters, merry as could be, tripped along to- gether to the Get-Acquainted Tea. Mid ruffles and bows and flowers galore rode the Queen of the Cottons and pretty girls by the score. With Wavyl Whitehouse as chief and Mrs. Ahrens as coach, the Girls ' League School Committee was above reproach. Fix- ing holly at Christmas and nosegays in May, with many hands helping, wasn ' t work, just play. Decorations for this, decorations for that, kept this busy committee up to bat.

Even tiny BlO ' s were welcomed in a special aud call to introduce sports and coaches. Guests were Don Eby and Chet Noe, former all-city basket- ball stars. A special duty of Boys ' League is to urge boys to participate in their favorite sports. To do this, basketball, football, volleyball, wrestling, and horseshoe tournaments were sponsored. League representatives and alter- nates are selected through their second period classes. Boys ' League is not exclusive, but it ' s well worth supporting. BOYS ' LEAGUE CABINET S ' 51— Doerfler, Rush, president; White; Toma. BOYS ' LEAGUE provided the student body with the quietest day on campus when it sponsored Boy-Hate-Girl day on May 4. The boys did not chat with the girls all through the day. However, the charming gal who persuaded the most boys to talk to her was awarded a trophy at the Reunion Romp that night. Overwhelming success and the full co-operation of the boys accompanied Slack Day and Slack and Loud Shirt Day. Helping with the Red Cross and Needlework Guild drives were on the spring calendar. The volleyball and tennis courts, the horseshoe pits, and the gym were the settings for the Boys ' League athletic tourn- aments. 38 STUDENT SERVICE WORKERS AS STUE II-R Shaw rich, I Slant ' Atkin hill.

Early risers were able to come to school and work in the library or attendance office instead of just wandering around. Busy students who had extra periods help- ed teachers and worked in the gym. Business education majors and others who need some experience in that field were a great help in the counselor ' s office as well as in many others. Cashiers and sales girls in the candy bungalows had their share of work during nutrition and lunch-hour. The duties of this organization seem to have been well done with much benefit to the members and to the school at large.

The name, inciden- tally, for English-only readers, means the French Circle. Initiations and meet- ings were sparked by c lever plays given in French.

The BOOKKEEPING CLUB enjoyed a trip to Norway, made possible by the slides taken by Mrs. Hotchkiss when she was visiting in Norway recently. This proved to be welcome relaxation to these girls who spend many hours laboring like mad with ledger papers and ink eradicators Recently Mr. James of the Friden Calculatory Machine Company visited the club and gave them a few pointers on essentials in the use of machines.

MATH CLUB members, often referred to as brains , liked to solve such fascinating mathe- matical problems as proving that two times two are four. Wrestling with these seemingly simple, but actually tricky, problems consumed many an hour of meeting time. Mr. Johnson helped them as they struggled, foreheads bead- ed with perspiration and fingers stiff from figuring, to learn new methods and short cuts to those baffling problems. The members were too busy with pencil, paper, and slide rules to plan a social calendar. ROW I: Magraudy, Majesky, Buerner, vice presi- dent; Lafazan.

Other activities of the year consisted of panel dis- cussions on world affairs, oratorical contests, films, and talks by teachers who have traveled abroad, correspondence with students in foreign countries, and the sending of boxes of food to devastated families in England and Germany.

ADELPHIANS, one of the most popular of the social clubs, promoted friend- ship, not only around school, but also at the world friendship con- ventions held every sem- ester at various schools. At these conferences dele- gates, representing stu- dents of different races and religions, discussed everv-day and world problems. Each week a few of the airls went to the Spastic Home to help entertain the children there. A get-acguainted tea was held at the be- ainning of the semester in honor of the new mem- bers. Entertainment was provided by the old mem- bers and everyone had fun playing games and getting acguainted with everyone else. THESPIANS, starting the year with their formal initiation, at- tended the P 1 a y e r s ' Ring Theater Next on the agenda was the Fall Speech Festival at Eagle Rock High where Bob Calfee won hrst prize in the poetry division Among the many plays they attended were, Joan of Lorraine , Bar- retts of Wimpole Street , and Great Big Doorstep . As a service to their school, the Thespians presented eight one- act plays during lunch time. The proceeds were put into the student body fund. CAMERA CLUB kept busy sprinting around school, cam- eras in hand, ready to snap photos. Among other school duties they changed the bulle- tin board outside Bugalow 23 and saw and gave lectures on camera technique. Each Mon- day everyone brought his cam- era to room A2 and had a snapping good time. Courtney Jahnz, supervised by Mr. Axe, Camera Club sponsor, made the colored slides for the Con- tinental advertisement assembly. SCRIBES was another club with the promotion of world-friend- ship as its goal. These warm- hearted girls sent a box of supplies overseas each month to cheer up the friends they acquired through correspon- dence These boxes contained much needed and deeply ap- preciated articles. Belonging to the Federation of World Friend- ship Clubs, the Scribes attend- ed a State Convention with other student representatives of California. This ended another successful year for these pen- pals, who, in the years to come, will continue to create friends through correspondence.

CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP— The busiest place on campus every Thursday noon was Room 190 in the Agriculture Building where the Christian Fellowship Club met to listen to a guest speaker who talked to them on some requested sub- ject This year the members were entered in the Youth for Christ quiz in competition with all the other schools in the city. The winning team was to receive a free trip to Winana Lake. A Youth for Christ pin for every member was one of the semester objectives. CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP— ROW I: Norton, Litherland. Milroy. Floyd.

Sally Powers started the Clef Club concert with a bang when she stepped up to the microphone and, in a most professional manner, broke into the lively number, Hot Ca- nary . As a change of tempo, Ted Price thrilled the audience with his dynamic rendition of Greig ' s Piano Concerto , which highlighted the evening. With much enthusiasm, Clef Clubbers enjoyed a variety of activities ranging from a pro- gressive dinner in the rain, to a memorable Senior Farewell party. PHILHARMONIC CLUB— Any- one strolling by the aud during lunch period last semester more than likely overheard melo- dious strains of music floating through the open doors Tickl- ing the keyboards at these noon concerts were Carl Doria and Pat Fifield A host of other noon time entertainment in- cluded popular contralto Wini- fred Sinai. 48 BAND LETTERMEN, GYM, NOVELTEENS BAND LETTERMEN were respon- sible for the organization of the Pep band that was enjoyed by many at the basketball games. Eligibility for membership in this group was based on the success- ful completion of two semesters in the band. The members chose Gary Lewis as gavel-holder, and Al Rougny as his assistant. GYM CLUB — Sponsored by coach Harry Perry, Washington High ' s musclemen were organized into the gym club. Presiding over the built ones was Roger Lane, who was first man on the rope with a climb of 6.2 seconds. Denny Haas was vice president while Remi Kramer held the positions of sec- retary and treasurer. Another offi- cer, and an important one, was sergeant-at-arms held by Big Wayne Orman. Last semester new members were taken into the Gym Club adding to a decreasing membership. BAND LETTERMEN — ROW I: Kamashain, Adams, Ralston, Glasgow, Davis, president; Jani, Mansolino.

NOVELTEENS— T h e s e self-ap- pointed ' greeters ' of Washington have taken upon themselves the task of making all new girls feel at home. This comparatively new club got their pins this year and started things rolling by helping to sponsor the Big and Little Sister party. TYROS TYROS— Oh. why did I eat so much? were the words often mutter- ed by a Tyro after hav- ing served refreshments at a tea or dance. Food shouldn ' t be wasted, so the girls did the only sensible thing left to do — they ate it. They had a party of their own the day before Washington ' s birthday, and at the beginning of the year they had a wonderful time roller skating at Westchester Skateland.

This group, composed of eleventh grade girls and affiliated with the Red Cross, delivered posters to the neighboring stores an- nouncing the annual Red Cross Drive. At Christmas time they made vivid colored ornaments of aluminum foil which were given to the Red Cross to be distributed to the orphanages. ROW I: De Rusha, Chapman, Funk, Gre- gory.

MINUTEMEN, TEENTOPPERS, ARGENTS t -Ci MINUTE MEN, ready to serve at a moment ' s notice, did an impressive job helping advertise the paper drive. Previous to that, they had spent many an hour addressing post cards to former Generals advertising the senior play. Whether by speaking to second period classes, distributing posters, or address- ing postcards they usually contributed valuable service in all selling cam- paigns. ROW I: Boyer, president; Ashton, Peck, Knight, Borger. ROW II: Lawlor, Scott, Minzlaff, Litherland, Kilgore. Martin. TEEN TOPPERS— If you are up in the air, that is five feet eight inches or taller, and a female of Washington High, you will be welcomed in the Teentoppers. These Marthas specialize in aiding the tall girl to better dress and posture. This year they sledded and romped in the snow at Lake Arrow- head and had other gay socials. ROW I: Cardellio, Nuzzo. vice president; Rollins, sponsor; Slater, president; Strong. ROW II: Driver, Tracy. Nichols, Elsmore, Stone, Knobs, Buss, Bishop, Kahler. ARGENTS, newest of all boys ' clubs on the campus, hardly got itself beyond the teething stage this year. The con- stitution was accepted by the club committee and sweaters decided upon, although these were not ready for this year ' s members to enjoy. So much time was spent upon organization that not much was planned in the way of social affairs. Harold Shaw was the spring president. ROW I: DeCuir, Smelon, Flanegin, San- ders, sponsrr. ROW II: Lytle, Kennedy. Reina. Shaw Collins, president. 52 PINCHOPPERS, ICE CUTTERS, RACADETS I PINCHOPPERS— There it goes down the alley! It ' s a smash! No, not a strike; she forgot to let go of the ball. Besides bowling, the Pinchoppers threw many socials. Among their favorite was a day spent at Griffith Park near the merry- go-round where they ate yummy fried chicken and played their own version of football. ROW I: Deems, vice president; Denzer, president; Morrow, Dolph. ROW II: Johns, Tobin, Hutchinson, Redmon, Feather, Churchill. ROW III: Tindall, Landgraf, Bishop, sponsor; Weiss, Canale. ICE CUTTERS, commonly known as the ' cutters ' , were usually seen around their favorite bench by the candy bungalow. Their spring formal in- cluded the Golden Pagoda for dinner, Diamond Lill for entertainment, follow- ed by dancing at the Palladium. Prob- ably the favorite social event of the year was the annual dual-purpose chestnut bake, where the tasty tid-bits served not only as material for simu- lated atomic explosions but also as offensive weapons against those sus- pected of causing the explosions. ROW I: Hafforlb. Sappington, Lilly, Vick- ery. ROW II: Mather, Munson, Jacobs, Maltby, Glassman, Hawthorne, sponsor. The RACADETS racked up a year of colossal activity, highlighted by a fun- packed week at Crestline. The outcome of activities such as swimming, horse- back riding, and hiking were glad hearts, sun-baked backs, and stiff muscles. A main feature of the trip was the hush-hush work which resulted in a surprise birthday party for Louise Romero. ROW I: Crawford, Coleman, president; O. ' Shaughnessy. ROW II: Tolman, Monte- sano, Romero, Lackey, Brown. ROW III; Rigas, Scott, G.; Minzlaff, Erickson, Eck- man, Scott, S. KEGLERS, RHYTHM ROLLERS, SILVER SKATERS SILVER SKATERS— Twice a month the Silver Skaters skimmed rhythmically across the cool ice to the stimng melody of the Skaters ' Waltz When they were not tripping the light fantastic on ire they were engrossed in the many exciting socials of the year, one of which was the Christmas party where each member eagerly exchanged presents with her secret pal. After the formal in January this energetic group made its way to Knott ' s Berry Farm. Be- tween sampling the delicious berries and de- lighting in the unusual atmosphere of the Ghost Town everyone had a hilarious time. ROW I: Sherwood, Geear, Wilkie, vice president; Muffkk. president; Van Zandt. ROW II: Mullins, Grey, Purgitt, Otero, Mathews, Uhl, Hentershee. ROW III: Hotchkiss, sponsor; Macchia, Jacobs, Nelson, Curiel, McFarlin, Smith, Douglas. KEGLERS — After an interview with the Keglers, these few pertinent facts were learned. After surmounting certain financial problems the Keglers, a bowling club, has begun to roll (no pun intended). Because of its extreme youth, the club has no pin or sweater. It has no socials because it is not a social club, but was created to give competition in the sport of bowling. It is sponsored by a near-by bowling alley which gives a trophy to winners of a certain amount of games Good luck, Keglers. ROW I: Sjostrom, Paris, Lally, Roos. ROW II: Harlan, Halbrook, Kobabe. ROW III: Summons, sponsor; Brown, Young, Pinney, Briggs, Johnson. RHYTHM ROLLERS— If anyone at a Hollywood skating rink ever found himself jostled by a group of speeding teenagers, he probably de- cided that they were the Rhythm Rollers on one of their frequent skating parties. Besides roller skating, these fun-loving girls planned an inter-club social for the sport-service clubs where a brilliant array of brightly colored leaves carried out the autumn theme. A novel idea for a party was carried out at Terry Moon ' s house when the room was decorated to resemble an ice cream parlor. To add to the excitement these energentic females even froze their own ice cream. Talented girls the Rhythm Rollers. ROW I: Bach, Wedin, Buland, president; Wise, vice president; Shull.

The annual barn party was a scene of much laughter when a horse tried to sing a duet with Janice Merit. Lots of fun was also had at the pledge, Valentine, and Christmas parties. The hard work done in- cluded cleaning the school ' s trophies, managing rummage sales, and running the Lost and Found. ROW I: Olson, Prumers, Mariharl, Procter, vice presi- dent; Freeze, president; Paynter, Moulton, Merit, Brit- ton.

CO-EDS — Faraway mountains are calling the Co-Eds now, for that is where they will journey as soon as summer vacation begins. But before they go, the memories of their services and socials linger on. The Co-Eds loyally devoted their time in the student store and took charge of all caps and gowns for graduation, music programs, and the sealbearer aud. Norma Crane wielded the club gavel during the winter term, and at Senior Farewell it was turned over to Sally Boyer who served as president in the spring semester. The Co-Eds frolicked at many grand and glorious socials, including the formal initiation, boys ' night, Mt. Oaks, house parties, and slumber parties. ROW I: Ashton, Garvin, Watson, Human, Olander, Peck, G., vice president; Lang, Harding, D.; Smith, Garard, Harding, M.

Deason, Brown, Rapp, Weber, Bosch, Kilgore, Hopper, Irvin, Lauria, Vollmer, Smead. SUB-DEBS made a hit again as another term of fun and frolic came to a successful close. Vacationing at Club San Moritz and occupying seven cozy cabins with a private swimming pool at Long Beach proved just a beginning for these fun-seeking gals. Balloons, streamers, entertainment, and food high- lighted the Valentine party given in honor of the Debbies by their lowly pledges who some day would also cherish the name Sub-Deb .

EMBASSY, PRY-TONS, CLUB COUNCIL 55 CLUB COUNCIL— The question of clubs is an impor- tant one in every student ' s mind. Each year problems develop converning disobedience of regulations and the advisability of reorganizing the clubs. It is the job of the club council to promote better understanding between faculty, student government, and clubs. This group is made up of the presidents of all social service organizations. The winter semester council was split into two parts, girls and boys, although as a whole it was led by Dick Reeve. In the spring semester the groups were united for better co-operation. Harold Shaw was president and had charge of the Paper Drive and the Bundle Bounce which followed it. ROW I: Calfee. Creamer, Galceran, Welday, Tobias, Tindall, Corbell, Spaulding, Bach, Shaw, president. ROW II: Smith. Federer, Knight, Gardner, Doeriler, Lilly, Lane. EMBASSY was one of four clubs to sponsor the most talked about sport dance of the year, the Hawaiian Hop, where the fellows wore gay colored shirts and the girls print skirts. At the senior farewell dinner at the home of Jim Buehner, the main emphasis was upon the delicious ham and turkey. Immediately following that, Jim Ralston, out-going president, turned his gavel over to Carl Doerfler. Formal initiation in the spring was at Sunnyside Baptist Church followed by dinner at Carolina Pines and the play The Square Needle at the Las Palmas Theatre. The Embassy now does two new services to the school, selling fight tags and super- vising the cafeteria clean-up. ROW I: Nicol, Kamashian, Doerfler, vice president; Ralston, president; Ayres, Buehner, McKendrick. ROW II: Glas- gow, Burgum, Belew, Aertker, sponsor; Fisher, Toma, Gotts. ROW III: Anson, Mathews, Davis, Beazley, Taylor, Butler. PRY-TONS— Patriotic fellows, these Pry-Tons! With seven of their members and most of the alumni in the service they still had plenty of members left for socials and school service. A trip to the mountains, commonly referred to as the Lost Weekend, was one of the favorite stags while the New Year ' s party was a suc- cessful drag. In the line of service the Pry-Tons spon- sored a dance with Embassy, Sub-Debs, and Tri-Y. ROW I: Goclon, Nelson, president; Costello, Davidson. ROW II: Wood, Bloomquist, Turk, Lochridge.

Their main function is to uphold the standards of the lettermen at Washington. Before any one can receive a letter for any sport he must be O.K. ' d by the club members. The club also plans and sponsors the lettermen ' s banquet honoring all who have earned a letter in any sport during the semester. The banquet is a semi-annual affair and always has speakers well known in the world of sports The Letter- men also sell fight tags and football programs. When you see that big handsome lad with a W. L. C. patch on the right sleeve of his Letter- men sweater, you know he is a member of his club. Summer yell leaders are shown in a typical pose.

A long chain of injuries was started off in this game when Gary Moulton, first string left end, suffered a broken leg. The Generals then took a breather while trouncing South Gate in their final warm-up. With hopes of walking off with the Southern League total, coaches Sloan and Shanks led their mighty army against the attacks of their Southern League foes. But the chain of bad luck then continued when Mowers, Hatton, Collela, Voss, and Helfenstein were pla- gued by injuries and illness. Be- cause of these injuries the team was never at full strength for the remainder of the season. It was evident that with more depth the Generals could have taken their foes, as they lost to Roosevelt and Manual by only one touchdown. They faltered in the closing min- utes of the Jefferson game as the Democrats scored their two touch- downs in the last minutes of the game. Despite the injuries and bad luck, the team was fighting for Washington until the gun of the final game. Ray Helfenstein was chosen as an All-Southern halfback while Larry May gar- nered a berth on the second team at the tackle spot. , . p f f! f . p ?.

ROW IV: Hansen, Kennedy, Abbott, Mandeson, Munson, Leviton, Langon, Gerson, Kohns, Recupero, Ferruccio, Rew. Washington ' s Junior General football squad showed more man power and ability than teams of the previous three years. Coached by B. B. G (Baby Bill Gibson) and sparked by Cordova, Possemato, Creamer, Beazley, Galceran, and many other mighty midgets, they displayed great defensive strength. After several warm-up games they battled Roosevelt to a scoreless tie. Follow- ing in the footsteps of the varsity, they lost a heart-breaker to Manual Arts by a lone tally. Showing a lack of offensive punch they were outscored by Gar- field. The Junior Generals then invaded the Pathfinder gridiron to beat the cardinal and grey team for the first time in five years. Johnny Creamer scored the one and only touchdown of the game as the squad showed the strength and ability they were capable of. The Jefferson Bee squad had a little too much speed for our boys, as they ended the season dropping the final game. They scored only one touchdown during the season, but it was the one that counted. _- 64 VARSITY BASKETBALL Ronnie Boldra Dale Brudvig Armand Clark Marvin Landsberg BASKETBALL — Siormin ' Norman ' s hoopsters fared fairly well in their tilts during this last season, winning six out of ten games Bob (Ace) Ross, a second string All-Southern pick year before last, played guard where he prov- ed a constant scoring threat to all opposition. Ronnie Bold r a and Dick Sinclair were the Generals ' strength in the center slot. Up and coming centers were Jack Davis, Dick Rush, and Don Carmichael. Adjacent to Ross at guard position was Dick Rush, and filling the for- ward positions were Armand Clark and Ed Peterson. The game with Dorsey, which the Generals won 64-36, was the highest score the Armymen piled up all season. The Generals broke even with Roosevelt in two thnllers, win- ning the first with free throws 39-38. The Manual Arts Toilers were victorious in both of their Army clashes, out classing the Generals in both height and weight. Changing the chain of events, the Denker Dandies defeated the Garfield Bulldogs at both tilts. Fremont fol- lowed in the footsteps of Garfield, but Jefferson broke the win streak by badly downing the Generals; first 65-46, then 81-49. The Generals ' fi st string was Bob Ross, Dick Rush, Dick Sin- clair, Ronnie Boldra, Armand Clark, and Ed Peterson Although not always victorious, the G ene-al hoopsters always displayed fine sportsmanship along with the will to win. Next year ' s team should equal, if not better, this year ' s, and maybe add another trophy to the gala display in the trophy case. VARSITY BASKETBALL— ROW I: Petersen, Sinclair, Brudvig Boldra.

George (Bugs) Forbes led the Generals in scoring, receiving strong assistance from John Savino, Don Carmichael, Jack Dortignac, and Ralph Wilson. Although they dropped games to Fremont, Garfield, and Man- ual, after a bitter struggle of course, the Army B ' s came back to defeat Jefferson and Roosevelt. The B ' s, who will probably improve in height and ability, will be the composite of next year ' s varsity squad. BASKETBALL BEES— ROW I: Smith, Johnson, Forbes, Dortignac, Carmichael, Savina. ROW II: Schachter, coach; Ander- son, Whalley, Wilson, Brooks, Cizek, Van Pareen. ROW III: Di Maggio, Calcee, Reb- scher, Weymann, Woolley, Sanchez, Venne. Washington ' s midget basket- bailers, aping the B team, had a few more losses than wins. The junior hoopmen gave their all, but would probably have fared better with the aid of springs, pogo sticks, and other height obtaining instruments. Gary Kertson, Red Alt, Mar- shall Cox, Dick Harris, and Frank Small were the high scoring quartet of the mighty C ' s. D boosters were Eddy Bauch, Jim Holmes, Don Melig, Jack Pendleton, Richard Schrei- ber, and Sanford Ward. BASKETBALL CEES AND DEES— ROW I: Brossmer, Cox, Gullock, Alt, Mauer. Ha rris.

As the Continental left the hands of the editor and went to the print shop our bat and ball men were out in front in Southern League competition. Coach White confided that this year ' s team is the best since 1948 when we took Southern League. With one more com- plete round of five games to play, Washington ' s chances were considered excellent for All-City. The backbone of this going team was Gary Gree- nough, Bill Pierce, Bill Smith, and Ray Weymann, who are four sharp pitchers. Lady luck gave up eight returning lettermen with plenty of experience and know-how this year. Outstanding hitter, Jack Varnado, had an average of 550, in league competition as the annual went to press, and everyone had high hopes for Stevenson to be considered for All-City.

Marv Belew set a new record in the intramural meet. The junior varsity leather lungers galloped after Arnold Kaufman who nabbed first. Blazin ' Bob Banning led the tenth grade. In the League opener the Generals defeated the Teddies 0-7, with Marv Belew again taking first, Denson, second, and Tom Rush managing a third. Banning led the tenth grade, with Arnold Kaufman second and Carl Doerfler third. The following week Washington, Dorsey, and Manual Arts clashed. In the tenth grade Dorsey triumphed with 23 points, while Washington ranked second with 38. The General junior varsity streamed to victory with 29 points, while Dorsey lagged with 41, and again the Toilers were left behind. In the varsity circuit Marv Belew sprinted homeward in third spot.

Yes, a track meet has all the excitement of a three ring circus. Although not on top in league competition the Gen- erals could brag of some ex- ceptional trackmen. Dick Sin- clair, one of the few in Los Angeles who made the Daily News High School Hall of Fame, high jumped 6 ' 6Vs in compet- ition, while Ernie Shelton sprang 6 ' 5V8 over the bar. Shelton could play the lead in a one man show. He took firsts in high hurdles, low hurdles, and high jump in competition against Huntington Park and Roosevelt.

Many people who watch football, basketball, and hockey, believe that tennis is an easily played, unskilled game. More than likely they have never been on a tennis court on the receiving end of a bullet serve, or have never twisted their abdominal structures to return an out-of-reach ball. Indeed, it takes the perception of an eagle and the agility of a panther to participate in the athletic recreation called tennis.

Doing their share of making beautiful noise was the band with Mr. Abbott as director. I The DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS added pep and color to all the rallies and football games. In the fall, when they marched at Wrigley Field at the Washington-Fremont game, they were highly praised by everyone, including Fre- mont ' s own team. But the surprise of the year came when, at one of the rallies, the girls astonished everyone by actually playing their bugles instead of just carrying them. Marilyn Watson and Pat Starling were the fall and spring majorettes. SONG LEADERS, those six peppy girls dressed in red, white, and blue, lent much to the spirit of Washington High. Their familiar request, Come on, you guys. This time let ' s really sing always brought student enthusiasm to a higher pitch.

CASUAL Assuming that you have enjoyed gazing through this galaxy of photo- graphs and copy, which was made possible by the members of the Conti- nental staff, some of the inside dope on this literary masterpiece will now be told. First revelation is Editor Gerrie Schenk ' s six grey hairs which she claims to have grown since September. Good work, Gerrie! All members of the Sur- veyor staff are great friends of the Continental staff. Unknown to outsiders, the two gangs wage secret war on each other. June 13 was a big surprise to Surveyor snoopers when a beautiful birch-bark beige book came out in- stead of a suspected green one. In between the battles of words, candy peace offerings were sent from Bunga- low 33 to Bungalow 191. Of course they were never eaten (or fear of poison Anthony Loya, Continental photo- grapher, took shots of the staff just to prove how hard they work. Top picture shows the whole class gazing in awe at the ' 5G book, and making resolutions to do as good a job as was done on it. Beneath it Marian Moe, Lupe Cota, and Darlene Nelson admire their work while the editors wrestle with one of their many problems. Next picture down, Courtney Jahnz and Bob Carter are probably studying some pin-up poses. Beside them sits Agnes Lither- land, instructing Jackie Clark, Jean Payne, and Carol DeRusha on the com- plicated technique of pasting up senior panels. Below are Bob Monarch, How- ard Sappington, Don Jurwich, and Carl Seltzer surrounding Glen Gardner. The pencil in Carl ' s mouth adds prestige and dignity to the esteemed art editor, we think. 91 SURVEYOR STAFF EDITS LOIS WEGNER Winter Surveyor Editor JERRY BAKER Summer Surveyor Editor Any Surveyor reporter can be identified by his long sharp nose and short stubby fingers. The nose comes in fine for snooping out news and the fingers get worn from typing words and words of copy. The Surveyor is appreciated by both stu- dents and the National Scholastic Press Association. The stu- dents show appreciation by subscribing year after year, and the Press Association by sending out special awards. The fa- vorite paper of the student body is that gem of humor known as the April Fool issue. It comes out annually in a mixed-up jumble which pupils and teachers alike enjoy. Lois Wegner and Jerry Baker take credit for the excellent publication they have edited this year. Also, in line for a lot of credit are the printers, who do really hard work. These pictures show the Surveyor staff in its new bunga- low which was designed especially foj them.

With all these little helpers how could it help but be a big suc- cess? Plaid shirts and levis were the favorite costume. And everyone worked as if he were getting paid for it. D and B, cheerleaders, and band giving out with Heaven Help the Foes between chattering teeth. A muddy football field does bad work on pretty white Joyces. Basketball being a warmer sport, these rooters still give out their ' Rah Rahs ' with spirit. Empty football helmets are ready to begin a game. Up and over, as spectators hope the sand is soft. More paper drive fun. At lunch all the workers streaked off to a nearby yummy eating place. More scenes of the dreamy K. L. Carousel dance. Second row; Relaxation on the quad. Those text books are there merely for effect. Popular Pop Anderson shows the know-how of leather craft. Paper drive again? Dusty, musty, and exhausted the workers congratulate themselves on a job well done. D. B. proudly struts in Hughes Field. Nice form, girls. No, that ' s not Washington ' s new swimming pool. It ' s the swim team practicing at Riis. Bright and peppy cheerleaders do a routine at Hughes Field. Pacing past the bungalows. Looks familiar, No? Thi--d row: Quite a project this drive. Fun too. It was a lesson on how to make money the hard way. Gerrie Schenk, editor, doesn ' t seem to feel a bit lonely surrounded by all those boys. Is our dignified editor giggling? Installa- tion assembly-need more be said? A Cappella Choir with Mr. Lyman directing; the audience sits entranced as it listens to the — etc. Part of the staff and an outsider listen to Dr. Fisher. One of the swimming team about to get all wet. These spectators show the usual response to a newly made basket. Girls, that hand- shake is backwards. Anyway the loser is sup- posed to jump over the net. Is Dr. Fisher trying to talk Mel Fisher and Bill Weyant into joining the navy? These Hi-Talent Battlers won us a trophy for our show case. Good work! Third row: This is one of the more hard work- ing library classes. All Washingtonians re- flexes go into action at the simple word, drop! Pretty good, class, everyone was down in one- eighth of a second. A close up of the D. B. Sparkle plenty. Oh no! Not more paper drive! The Generals won ' t want to see another stack of newspapers till next semester. Faces and formals at the winter K L. Blank and censored — this is going too far. If this is football, where is the D. B.? These eager beavers took cooking class because they wanted to stay single and eat too. 100 D P w,Y K p J? 101 9% AAAU 102 TENTH GRADE g V i % C ' M V V.

A class as wonderful as its name. Literally stuffed with talent, beauty, and friendliness, the Athenians chose as their motto For the good and the beautiful . The name belonged to the early Geeks who lived in Athens and represented all that was wise and beautiful Both the Senior Mothers ' Tea, where mothers are honored, and the Senior-Faculty Breakfast, where teachers say fare- well to their students, were decorated to resemble ancient Athens. Green laurel leaves and clever place cards were the decorations. Class spon- sors, Mrs Katharine Hazell and Mr. Sanders, came dressed in Greek robes. The class president in the B12 term was Dick Reeves who super- vised the Cinderella Senior Prom and had charge of the Senior Field Day. The B12 class president was Ed Voss. Full of fun and beauty, this class deserved its name, Athenians. George Winlhrop Aamodt Alice Ardele Adams Daniel H.

No, it ' s not the bearded girl and boy from the circus; it ' s just two Castilians saying goodbye to their favorite high school. Ah — beautiful green sweaters. These little ' greenies ' were the pride of the campus, till W ' 52 got their sweaters. We ' re the best at Washington, Summer Class of ' 51. We are always having fun, Castillians, we ' re Cas- stillians! Chanting their class song set to the tune of Music, Music, Music, and showing off their green sweaters the Castillians of S ' 51 started the year off right. Under the wing of Dick Sinclair, president, the Senior B ' s gave one of the best proms ever! The theme was Candy Land and even the hangar, usually called the boys ' gym, looked good after decora- tions of candy and crepe paper were up. Jim Jones, summer president, led the class through the traditional Senior Mothers Tea, the Senior Field Day, and the beautiful outdoor grad- uation ceremony.

Now that a year of struggle has passed, I know how many people really put their heart and soul into the making of this year book. I sincerely want to thank them for all their efforts, because without them the publications of this annual would have been impossible. The first one to thank would logically be Carl Seltzer, be- cause without him our book would have had no cover design and no division pages. Because our theme was Casual California he tried to do the layouts and drawings in a casual and modern way to typify the way we live in California and the ways of our school life. It seems that staffs and sponsors are always there to depend on, but not much thought is ever given them. They really do de- serve a lot of credit, for it is really tough to have to put up with an editor. Another good worker I want to thank is Gary Moulton who helped with sports copy and also boosted our morale when we found ourselves working later and later each afternoon to meet deadlines. Lots of thanks go to Tony Loya for being such a great photographer. We all felt lucky to get a perfect personality along with a camera sharpie. Honestly, all my thanks to helpers and advisors could go on for pages; so pardon me if I just mention some of the remaining ones. At the top of the list is Mr. Jack Cannicott of the Los Angeles Engraving Company. He made possible all of the fine engravings, gave us terrific advice, and helped us keep to our budget. The Chamber of Commerce gave us its best vacation-land prints to go on the introductory theme page. If you like our cover (its official color is birch-bark beige) give all credit to the Bindex Bindery. Last of all how can I ever say enough to Mr. Burnett and his staff. Everytime we went over dead lines we had to run with our troubles to Mr. Burnett. After writing this all down, I am really beginning to ap- preciate the great peoole I had to work with. They were all so efficient and dependable, that thev made the office of editor-in- chief of the Continental a verv pleasant on for me. Jtk. ' 0 SSMSn Vlv v x V. 5g  Jf ? ar+ - 53tN !K ■ m£ ?.ij? i
